Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt the butter and stir in the sour cream.
- Add 4 cups of Pioneer mix (flour) and pour in half a can of Sprite.
- Stir while adding the sugar.
- Add the remaining 2 cups of flour mix and the rest of the Sprite; stir well.
- Preheat the oven to 350° to 400° F.
- Spray a cookie sheet with Pam.
- Take 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball.
- Dust your hands with flour to prevent sticking.
- Place the dough balls onto the cookie sheet and bake until the tops are brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a fluffier biscuit, ensure your butter is melted but not too hot when mixed with the sour cream. If you don’t have Sprite, lemon-lime soda or club soda can be used as a substitute. Adding a pinch of salt can enhance the flavor, and you can adjust the sugar according to your taste preference. For a twist, consider adding herbs or cheese for a savory variation.
Serving Suggestions
These biscuits are delightful on their own but can be served with butter, jam, or honey. They also pair beautifully with American recipes like Old Time Scalloped Potatoes for a comforting meal. For a breakfast option, serve them alongside scrambled eggs or slice them open and fill with sausage or bacon for a hearty sandwich.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To keep them fresh longer, you can refrigerate them for up to a week. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-10 minutes to regain their crunchiness. Avoid microwaving as it can make them soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these biscuits dairy-free?
Yes, you can substitute the butter with a dairy-free margarine or coconut oil, and use a dairy-free sour cream alternative. This will maintain the consistency and flavor while accommodating dietary restrictions.
What can I do if my dough is too sticky?
If your dough is too sticky, sprinkle a little extra Pioneer mix on your hands and the work surface while shaping the biscuits. This can help you handle the dough without it sticking too much, ensuring easier rolling and shaping.
Can I freeze the biscuit dough?
Absolutely! You can freeze the unbaked dough balls on a baking sheet until solid, then transfer them to a freezer bag. They can be baked straight from the freezer; just add a few extra minutes to the baking time.
